Millions of Americans suffer back pain every year. As many as 60% to 80% of adults endure some back pain in their lives. The majority of back injuries are most commonly suffered while on the job. Other major causes of back injuries are slips and falls and motor vehicle accidents. Back injuries can also be caused by acts of violence or sports-related injuries. Back injuries cost our American industries 10 to 14 billion dollars in workers' compensation costs and about 100 million lost work days annually.

There are a several types of back injuries, which include spinal cord injuries, slipped or herniated disc and compression fractures. Whiplash is not considered a back injury as many people think. 

Prevention of back injuries and pain is best managed through proper lifting and bending techniques, and proper posture. Although proper posture, conditioning and body mechanics are keys to preventing back injuries, back problems caused by accidents cannot always be prevented.
